Now, add up what you have of each letter:

(b)– REFLECTOR
(c)– THEORIST
(d)– PRAGMATIST
ACTIVIST – Do It.
You are open minded and enthusiastic about new things. You’ll try anything once. Your days are filled with activities. You tackle problems by brainstorming. Once an excitement has died down, you are looking for the next. You are outgoing and like to be the centre of attention.
PRAGMATIST – Try It.
You love ideas and ways of doing things. You’re keen to see if theories work in practice. You get impatient if people talk too much rather than getting on with things. You are very practical and down-to-earth. You see problems as a challenge. You’re sure there’s always a better way of doing things. If something works, it must be good.
THEORIST – Test It.
You are analytical and love detail. You take a logical, structured approach to everything you do. You’re hardworking and a perfectionist. You enjoy theories and concepts and are quick at pulling together odd bits of information into rational arguments. You don’t like uncertainty and you don’t like anyone being flippant about serious things.
REFLECTOR – Think It.
You like to stand back and think before you act. You’re a people person and enjoy watching and listening to others. You’re quiet and thoughtful and like harmony. You like to have a good feel for a subject before talking about it. You look at the big picture and you’re very ordered, calm and thorough.
